Nathan Aspinall and Glen Durrant are the new additions to the Unibet Premier League line-up in 2020, with Fallon Sherrock and John Henderson amongst the nine Challengers.

Nine of the sport’s biggest stars will compete in the 16-week tour of arenas across Europe from February 6 – May 21 2020, with a different Challenger to star in each of the first nine weeks of action. Aspinall has soared to fame over the past 12 months, with back-to-back World Championship semi-final appearances sandwiching his maiden televised titles at the UK Open and US Darts Masters.

The tournament, which begins at P&J Live in Aberdeen on Thursday February 6, will feature nine Challengers over the opening nine league nights, with the ninth-placed player in the league table following Judgement Night eliminated. The tournament will be broadcast live on Sky Sports in the UK, on PDCTV-HD for Rest of the World Subscribers and through the PDC’s worldwide broadcast partners including DAZN and RTL7.
